An AI Site Content Statement
Others have added AI statements on their sites to state or explain the use or non-use of AI. With AI bots popping up in group chats and Zoom, it may be time to make a declaration here.
All writing and images that you read and see here are all made and edited by the human Thomas Vander Wal.
With that said, I have worked with and used artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML), along with natural language programming (NLP) since 2008. I started learning it and using it to learn and understand. Professionally, I’ve been on many projects starting in 2010 with AI/ML (NLP) for surfacing patterns in large data sets or feeding it large sets of documents to identify patterns, what may have been missed in review, or as one triage method.
So, I don’t use AI for writing, as I write to understand what I know and I share things out to find others with similar interests. I enjoy making and creating to get things out into the world. The creative part is something I really enjoy and I have no interest in handing that over.
